That's a matter of opinion. My preference is for a denser city, more walkable and less car-dependent.

Some people, including me, would greatly disagree with you. What makes a city a city is the variety of people and opportunities contained in the city. That only comes with more people, more business, more retail etc.

If you want less density, live on a farm.

And if you want more democracy, don't give a Trump-Manafort political operative carte blanche with Ward 3 redistricting.

Task Force member Robert Ward on his social media supports a “compromise” redistricting plan offered by At-large Council Member Silverman. But then Ward mocks her plan on his alter-ego Titter, “Cleveland Park Boomer.” Totally strange behavior for someone on the Ward 3 redistricting Task force.

Mendleson is running his own autocracy, bypassing both the appointed task force and his fellow councilmembers.

It'd be odd behavior if Ward were Cleveland Park Boomer on Twitter, but he's not, so it's not strange behavior.

That Twitter account is clearly someone intentionally and not subtly mocking Cleveland Park homeowners. So of course it wouldn’t be odd or inconsistent that Bob Ward would be running the account.

The woman who posts from that account is not Bob.

Oh, Jesus Christ. Having a different ANC rep is not some kind of erosion of democracy.

Not getting your way is gerrymandering and autocracy. Got it.

Phil Mendelson releases a revised map at 10:20 on a Friday night. A map that doesn't conform to the law, nor the process. Why? To cater to his 30 years ago base of Cleveland Park NIMBYs.

And then....Eric Goulet, the supposed endorsed candidate of the Chamber of Commerce and businesses...goes and supports it. So I guess this is what we can expect from Goulet? 11th hour meddling that caters to the highly privileged?

I am curious what exactly Goulet thinks is thoughtful and transparent about Medelson's actions.

Looks more like pandering to the infinite degree.

How hard is it for Goulet to not write tweets that make him look like a complete ass. Every single one is so bad that I could swear that they were from a parody account made to mock local politicians who take themselves and their feelings far too seriously.

Your complaints are seriously over board. I think you need to cope.
